    I know it’s dumb but I was always a bit disappointed that Microsoft overhauled Paint in Windows 11 with layers and polish. To me, paint is always that terrible pre-packaged program that makes bad art. There was a community around making things in paint, which was noticeably impressive because making decent art in paint is a nightmare.

    Now that it’s actually fairly good… I don’t know, it’s lost its charm.

      I can understand and get behind this sentiment. At an old job we had iMacs and I would use Apple’s numbers program to make pixel art in the tables by coloring each cell.

      Its not actually good, and many actually good art programs far outshine it.

      So its lost what made it unique, by being comedically bad, and become the death knell of most things in a capital focused system; mundane.
